Halloween comes from the old Celtic festival. The Celts celebrated their new year on 1st November. This day was the end of summer and beginning of winter. Winters were cold and dark, so Celts believed that on Halloween night the ghosts came to Earth. They helped to predict the future. The natural world was dangerous, it changed quickly and it was important to know about their life in the next year.

On the 1st November, the Celts built big bonfires and burnt crops. It was a giftto the Celtic gods. During the celebration, the Celts wore animal costumes. They sang, danced and told each other stories. Then, they went home, lit their fires and hoped for luck.
